Glossary 699

MIDI Multi mode Multi-timbral operating mode on a MIDI sound module where

different sounds can be controlled polyphonically on different MIDI channels. A Multi

mode sound module behaves like several polyphonic sound modules. General MIDI

describes a 16-part multi mode (the ability to control 16 different parts individually).

Most modern sound generators support multi mode. In Logic, multi mode sound

modules are addressed via Multi Instrument Objects.

MIDI Region Data container for MIDI events which is shown in the Arrange window as

a named horizontal beam. In earlier Logic versions MIDI Regions were called sequences.

MIDI Time Code (MTC) Translation of a SMPTE time code signal into a MIDI standard

time code signal. MTC is used to synchronize Logic with MIDi devices, other

sequencers, video, and audio tape or hard disk machines that support MIDI Time Code.

MTC determines absolute time positions and supports start, stop, and continue

messages.

mixing The process of shaping the overall sound of a song by adjusting the volume

levels, pan positions, adding EQ, and other effects, and using automation to

dynamically alter aspects of the song.

modifier key Computer keyboard keys used in conjunction with alphabetical keys to

change functionality. Modifier keys include; Control, Shift, Option, and Command.

modulation Generally, a slight, continuously varying change. Logic’s effects and

synthesizers contain a number of modulators.

modulation wheel A MIDI controller found on most MIDI keyboards.

mono Short for monophonic sound reproduction. The process of mixing audio

channels into a single track, using equal amounts of the left and right audio channel

signals. Compare with stereo.

MP3 Abbreviation for MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3. A compressed audio file format,

frequently used to distribute audio files over the Internet.

MS stereo recordings Short for middle-side stereo. Two microphones are stacked on a

stand or suspended from the ceiling so that they are positioned as closely together as

possible. One microphone delivers the middle signal, the other the side signal. If you

want to use MS stereo recordings in Logic, you have to decode them—this can for

example be done with the Direction Mixer plug-in. Also see XY stereo recording.

MTC See MIDI Time Code.
